Nah, blue-legged hermit crabs are smaller and live in the water. The hermit crabs you're thinking of are the big, terrestrial ones you see at PetSmart with the painted shells.

I think I lucked out on a betta lads.
The one I got is extremely playful, doesn’t attack anything in the tank like the shrimp corys or snails and for some weird reason he seems to like it when I touch his tail.

Oil is not truly needed period

A lot of very stupid and helpless people would starve, a lot of people would end up living at their job, but society would emerge stronger rather than not emerging at all. Remember we already can cover almosr all essential transport with corn, lumber, and used cooking oil based fuels and minor engine retrofits. RIP to the poorfags that live in a corn field 50 miles away from anything non-corn and edible i guess? Also RIP nice computers and home goods, back to the days of underperforming but indestructible american semiconductors and long lasting kitchen tools and appliances.

Anon, having the entire Earth between you and a gamma ray burst will not save you. Having the entire Sun between you and a gamma ray burst will not save you. A true, intense gamma ray burst would likely make tardigrades extinct.

like do you want to know about their behavior or biology or just learn the differences between species? general bird guides are pretty good at giving you a bit of all of those things. the sibley guide is great and kind of the gold standard, and those audubon field guides are cool too.

Could an owl pick up and carry off an adult cat?
20 replies and 5 images omitted. Click here to view.

Depends on where he picks it from. Most cats would fight a lot if grabed and probably wound the own badly, otherwise it also depends on the size. Maybe a middle-mall female cat would be a easy target, a adult male cat would probably be a no-no

Post bugs if ya like bugs.

Just a little update on that terrarium I made for an isopod that was trying to yeet itself into my sink-it's going pretty well.

I added some stuff, got a low level heat bulb for the light system so that the tank isn't freezing ass cold at night while I'm at work, and I got myself a hissing cockroach. He's pretty cool; named him Prince because he acts like a little spoiled princess.

The isopod population basically exploded in the tank and went from about six or seven that i added in myself, to easily over forty now, which is pretty cool. I got some springtails when I picked up the roach, so those are in there as well, and I plan on getting some worms.

It's a fun little ecosystem and it's been keeping me on the straight a bit better. I've been eating healthier because I feed the scraps to the hisser, and i don't want to feed him anything that could hurt him, so fresh foods are in my fridge now. Also been keeping a more consistent schedule because I have to manually turn the lights on for them and give the tank a good misting.

That was what I was thinking - watered the whole thing a few minutes after the pic. They stayed like that all day, and had dispersed by next morning, no sign of them being harmed by it.

I counted over 25 at one point, and I only put about 10 of that species in, so that's a good sign, in my book.
>>
I just got three more roaches, and one of them COMPLETELY proved me wrong about not being able to climb glass. He just went up the side like spiderman, and he's still freaking out even though I put him in a toilet paper tube and literally nothing is touching him. It's even hella quiet in here.

Fucking shit lol. What should be name this one?

Ha, that is not at all what I'd be doing. I almost never leave the house, so I'd probably mostly be sitting outside watching bun be koot outside. Indoors would mostly be for sleepies. And I would probably put some fun bunny friendly stuff in there too. I hear some like playing with toys and such.

it doesn't matter. the bunny shouldn't be without a companion. alone in a bathroom is downright cruel. it won't have the same schedule for "sleepies" as you have

Ive been on a pet spree in the last few weeks. Ive accumulated a Jackson Chameleon, a bearded dragon, a pink toe tarantula, two axolotls, two african clawed frogs, an isopod tank, a 55 gallon community tank with a litany of fish along with my two trusted felines.
